 Gaines Adams-DL - Bears Jan. 17 - 11:30 am et

Bears DE Gaines Adams passed away Sunday morning for undisclosed reasons. Profootballtalk.com reports that Adams is "believed" to have suffered a heart attack.
The Greenwood (SC) County Coroner said Adams "appeared to be in perfect health," so it appears his death was tragically a fluke. An autopsy will be done later today. Adams, the No. 4 overall pick in 2007, racked up 13 sacks, 76 tackles, and two interceptions in his first two seasons with Tampa before being dealt to Chicago prior to October's trade deadline. He was slated for a major role in 2010, likely replacing free agent LE Adewale Ogunleye as a starter.

 Mark Anderson-DL - Bears Dec. 29 - 8:19 am et  

Bears DE Mark Anderson drew the start on Monday night in place of injured starter Adewale Ogunleye (leg).
Anderson, who had a sack in the game, was part of a rotation that included Gaines Adams and rookie Jarron Gilbert. With Ogunleye's Bears career likely over, the team is in evaluation mode at the left defensive end position.

 Adewale Ogunleye-DL - Bears Dec. 21 - 9:52 am et  

Bears LE Adewale Ogunleye suffered a small fracture to his left fibula during Sunday's loss to the Ravens and is almost certainly done for the season.
Ogunleye was already in a walking boot with crutches after the game. He likely won't need surgery, but it's an injury that takes six weeks to heal. At age 32 and in the final year of his contract, Ogunleye's future with the team is in serious doubt. They'll get a look at Gaines Adams and Mark Anderson in the final two games of the season.

 Gaines Adams-DL - Bears Dec. 18 - 10:52 am et

Gaines Adams has totaled two tackles and zero sacks since the Bears acquired him from the Bucs in mid-October.
Adams played 33 snaps in his first game, but he hasn't been in for more than 10 in game since. Defensive line guru Rod Marinelli has his hands full in trying to bring out Adams' potential for 2010.
